When it was time for him to leave home and stake a claim to his own territory, he embarked on a perilous journey-somehow crossing sixteen lanes of the worlds worst traffic-to make his home in LAs Griffith Park, overlooking the famed Hollywood sign. But Griffith Park is a tiny territory for a mountain lion, and P-22s life has been filled with struggles.Residents of Los Angeles have embraced this brave cougar as their own and, along with the scientists monitoring P-22, raised money to build a wildlife bridge across Highway 101 to help cougars and other wildlife safely expand their territories and build new homes-ensuring their survival for years to come.
